In the long run this album can be considered in the same line as the solo efforts of the aforementioned guitar players only with vocal participation. The latter element brings it closer to the Friedman/Becker collaboration Cacophony, but Kat's style is more exuberant and more aggressive, and need I mention more classical-oriented. There's this sense of urgency in her delivery as though she rushes forward with so much speed exercised, and this is I believe where her approach is subject to criticism as there are so many notes and appreggios served within a short span of time that the fan may get a headshake unable to figure out this hyper-active cannonade. It's by all means an acquired taste, Kat's very eventful musical exploits, but those who love tons or riffs, shreds, and leads served in quick succession, not necessarily in the most organized manner the whole time, will find their idol in the face of this talented, but still untamed after all these years feline creature.
